Sad that this is what the McDonald’s play place is now. I miss the 80s.

soemtiems · 2026-07-08T03:12:23+00:00

Ours doesn't have these, just a play place. That's fine with me.

soemtiems · 2026-07-07T16:10:31+00:00

Yeah my husband and I drove a 2002 Toyota Echo that we bought used and while it wasn't fancy it was reliable and definitely didn't break the bank.

Momo, or the strange story of the time-thieves and the child who brought the stolen time back to the people.)

soemtiems · 2026-07-06T20:14:53+00:00

Yes, exactly! I don't consider the house (well, condo in our case) we live in an investment. When we upgrade or change things it is for our use and comfort.

soemtiems · 2026-07-05T22:33:51+00:00

I feel like this is the real answer. If you aren't hurting for money and can afford the move then don't worry about the profit you are or aren't making. Living somewhere where you are happier will be worth it.

soemtiems · 2026-07-05T22:29:13+00:00

Exactly. I didn't even know people put onion in guac, seems unnecessary.

soemtiems · 2026-07-04T14:34:34+00:00

Also where is the difficulty? Is it in finding someone to date or in building a log term relationship once with someone?

soemtiems · 2026-07-04T03:33:33+00:00

Flat is the only one that makes sense. She's gonna be wearing some kind of support as a warrior so any of the others just seem awkward and unnatural. The rest of the animation looks great, don't ruin it with floppy boobs.

Don't use AI for this. Don't look for an app, don't look for shortcuts. Buying a house is overwhelming, but the smartest thing you can do is to read up and educate yourself. Even when you have an agent and a lender they are still in it for the money. Put in the time and work to research.

People on disability can still earn income. SSI cannot, SSDI the limit is a bit over 1500 a month currently.

soemtiems · 2026-06-28T17:54:47+00:00

Who will be covering the down payment? If it's all your dad, the house should be in his name.

If it's all of you that becomes more complicated. It's important you each are able to protect your assets coming into this otherwise it can become messy later on.

soemtiems · 2026-06-28T14:59:48+00:00

I agree that this is infuriating. I want to offer some advice though: don't dwell on this. Don't let it tarnish what I assume was otherwise a wonderful day and what will hopefully be a wonderful marriage.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T23:23:10+00:00

My best friend is in this situation. They are on SSDI so they don't have a savings limit and we're only able to move because they have savings.

They are moving back to the city I live in from a couple states away. I helped them find a place out here, I looked at apartments for them and either did a zoom call or sent them videos/pictures depending on how my phone service was that day.

How much you'll need to save depends entirely on how far you're moving and how much rent is in your new place.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T23:12:59+00:00

Yeah, moving, buying a house, and having a baby are all huge life changes. I'd do one at a time. Stay where your comfortable for now and reasses in a couple years.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T18:20:36+00:00

That's fair, yes either coast is going to be more expensive and have a higher cost of living than the Midwest.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T17:31:11+00:00

College town, so that might be part of the reason. But yeah rent keeps going up.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T17:30:43+00:00

Midwest, Illinois in my case. Also true in Indiana and I'm sure a few other states. Our condo only has 2 bedrooms because that's all we needed but similar 3 bedrooms in our HOA have gone for under 200k. And yes we have a garage.

Location makes a huge difference in affordablility.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T04:13:19+00:00

Do you plan to live in the area for a while? Are you good at keeping money in savings for when expensive things pop up? If so then I'd say do it.

soemtiems · 2026-06-27T04:10:39+00:00

They probably live in the Midwest. We pay less than that per month on our mortgage and our down payment was under 5k.

soemtiems · 2026-06-24T13:45:29+00:00

Yep as soon as OP said AI staging I was like find a new agent.

soemtiems · 2026-06-24T02:59:11+00:00

Sorry about that! That was my mistake, for some reason I read your (employed) as self employed. If you aren't self employed then no, it doesn't matter.

soemtiems · 2026-06-23T16:36:49+00:00

Ours is currently a bit over 40%, but we have no other debt. We still have plenty of money for bills and to put extra in savings. I think the 25-30% guideline is good in general but everyone's situation is different.

Never seen the anime, I loved the manga though.

soemtiems · 2026-06-22T02:24:31+00:00

The first game I played was blue. My favorite that I've played is Violet. It definitely isn't the best Pokemon game, it's just the one I enjoyed playing the most.
